Illegal immigration is THE KEY to the perpetuation of the status quo in DC......

Predatory tax and regulatory policies-actions that basically serve to perpetuate and grow governments-leave what business is left in the country seeking disposable labor.

Illegal Labor is the Feds out for preserving the status quo regarding Taxes and Regulation. Interestingly, that is WHY the Feds encourage in-state tuition etc for illegals under-the-table -their presence providing disposable labor allows Federal, State and local regulatory and tax excess in the status quo to continue

Immigration is the ultimate litmus test as to the candidates in question commitment to meaningful regulatory and tax reform. If they are wishy-washy on the subject...they have no real intent to disturb the DC status quo...no matter how big their cowboy hat and six-gun.

Realleadership is that which will place Flyover Countrys interest ahead of the Feds....havent yet seen anything meaningful anywhere from anybody to indicate that might happen. We have just one more election cycle to make that happen via rule of law. Otherwise its the end of the run for America.

Your last name can be Gahootinbollock, but if you are not American why should we help pay for your college education, when we have thopusands of American kids who could use that money and that spot the illegal is taking up in college.

I could not agree more as my front yard is 100 yards from the border. He has been horrible on illegal aliens. He panders to them just as bad as Obama or McCain. How people can think this guy is our conservative dream is lost on me.

I cannot and WILL NOT support perry or his vision of illegal alien invaders... they kill... maime and destroy... but they can lay sheetrock and install tuck and roll. Bottom line... illegal is illegal and he can't keep his states rights illegals in Texas... some have come to Mississippi and when they do... crime and destruction of property and life follows. They are also killing our economy.

He’s governor of a large state with a huge border. The state was overrun with illegals long before he became governor. He was correct in saying it’s the fed’s job to protect the border. He called for boots on the ground and air cover.

States have no ability on their own to secure their borders and have no authority to deport anyone. And they certainly don’t have the wherewithal to keep them in the state from which they entered illegally!

After Roland Martin's comments [LINKED below], no one on the CNN Panel pointed out how Gov. Rick Perry was attacked by the other panelists for in-state tuition allowed for high school graduates (in Texas schools for 3 years) working for citizenship (allowed to attend U.S. schools by the Feds) so they will not be a burden on the American taxpayer -- "regardless of your last name."

Gov. Perry may well have put AZ, NM, NV, CO in the GOP column with Rick Perry on the 2012 GOP ticket and made 55 CA Electoral Votes viable pick-ups.

[snip] .....>>> Roland Martin, CNN contributor: "If you're a Latino voter, the last thing you wanted to hear was some of the stuff you heard tonight. Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico will be critical states when it comes to November 2012. The GOP did themselves no favors tonight with Latino voters.

"Education did not come up in this debate at all. The only moment it came up was about abolishing the Department of Education. If you're a parent trying to get your kid educated, not a single candidate offered anything to speak to the crisis we have in this country when it comes to education. Major failure in that."<<<.....

I also found it interesting, that after about the 20th time of repeating innocent 11-12 year-old little girls (in the Tampa CNN-Tea Party debate, CNN post-debate, Fox News post-debate), when asked by Greta VanSusteren if she believed Gov. Perry used an Executive Order for the cervical cancer vaccine to get $6000.00 or because he believed it was a good idea and would help fight the spread of this cancer, Michele Bachmann actually stopped talking for a couple of nanoseconds, paused and said that she couldnt look into his heart and know that answer.

The answer is obvious to any honest person, that Gov. Perry did it to help fight cancer and hold down future medical costs (not make money, reward a company (Merck contributes $Millions to political groups yearly) - encourage girls to become sexually active or even suggest that they do). The best time to administer the HPV vaccine is when girls are young (they can contract this cancer from their husbands  get oral cancer  thank you Bill Clinton for your part in making America's youth think oral sex isn't sex).

About deaths from vaccines  over 400 people die yearly in the U.S. alone from penicillin allergies. All medicine carries risks -- have you watched an Rx commercial disclaimer lately?

And it was opt out. The governors EO allowed easier payment due to insurance restrictions. And it was not opposed by Dr. David Stevens, CEO of the Christian Medical Association.

Since 2006 Texas has spent over 250 million of our own dough to secure the U.S./Mexico border. Remember, that is the U.S. border and it's not Texas's responsibility but we take it on.

We get .94 for every dollar we send in to the Feds (Alsaka gets 1.80 I suppose to defend the Canadian/Alaska border).

Texas can't just round up illegals and ship them back to Mexico, neither can Arizona or New Mexico or California. We can jail them at our costs or we can try to cope the best we can.

Perry had it right. Since we cant deport we have a choice, jail or continue to let illegals opperate under the radar or.

Palin and Bachman are a joke when it comes to the reality of border security. Palin said in 2008 in an interview with Univision she wouldn't deport the illegals because it would be inhumane and she understood why they want to be here, now on O'Reilly she says she is gonna build a 2600 mile fence, militarize the border and deport them all. Liar and panderer is she. The only thing Palin had going for her was her appearance of virtue, certainly not her half term governor experience. After her false accusation of Perry, she doesn't even have that, and to think, after the guardisil thing, Palin still sang Perry's praises and supported him over KBH.

(Don't take it personally, just take it seriously.)

We have been through this before. If pandering to these people and reawarding them for breaking our laws is so popular, the dems would have passed a CIR bill in the 1st 2 years while we could not have stopped it.

I’m voting for BC or P. I am ready to go down in flames but will not vote for a RINO or RINO lite, this time or ever again, just to get someone with an “R” in front of their name in office.
What have you got if you compromise on larger principles???

I do not agree with you. Palin and Bachmann are terrific and very smart. Either would make an excellent President. So would Herman Cain. I can't decide which I like best.

The so-called "Liberals" (newspeak, of course) are horrified at the thought of any one of these in the White House--because they are horrified at truth and they are horrified at anything that threatens their nefarious agenda. All three do.

(Cash for clunkers, subsidies - none has worked. The left =one-trick pony on the economy $pend)

I wish they would call it what it is, “taxpayer-subsidized tuition”. The argument should not be about who has the right to go to college and what their last name is, its about who will pay for their college. Take away for a moment the immigration status issue, There is way too much taxpayer-subsidized tuition. Not everyone needs to go to college. And if college is the path you want to take but you can’t pay for it, then join the military and use the benefits by your honorable service. My best friend is having his kid complete his college in this way. Not by asking the government for money.
